A RAF Mk. 110 pitch and bank 2262 protractor with storage case

RAF Brass, 360 degree, circular Protractor with crossbar, a scientific drawing instrument in its original green felt lined mahogany box, both the mahogany box and brass protractor made for the Royal Air Force by A. West & Partners, 91 York Street, Westminster, central London, England, circa 1940. This is a circular lacquered brass protractor in its fitted green baize lined mahogany carrying case with hinged mahogany cover having breadboard ends to prevent warping of the wood. (At one time there were at least three mahogany block screwed or nailed into the green baize wooden box to secure the protractor in place when it was being transported. The markings for that are quite clear.) The box contains this scientific drawing instrument, a 23 cm diameter (9.2â€) circle of brass containing a full 360 degrees, marked in 10 degree intervals twice and divided into half degree measurements. The brass cross bar is marked indicating it was made for use by the Main Drawing Office of the Royal Air Force by A. West & Partners Ltd., 91 York Street, Westminster (London, England). The ends of the circle as well as one side of the crossbar is beveled down to fit easily against the map or chart one is examining. There are two rows of degree measurements, the outer row contains the full 360 degrees demarcated in 10 degree intervals while the inner scale contains four individual quadrant measurement from 0-90 degrees also in 10 degree pieces and divided on the outermost edge into half degree sections, serving both measurement scales. {Such instruments were made in this form back into the Victorian era of the 19th century, and this instrument could have been made by A. West & Partners earlier in the 20th century and repurposed for the RAF during WWII.} It is a navigational protractor lacking the four cardinal points shown, a 0 - 360 degree scale, and four 0 - 90 degree scales in the quadrants. In the Air Force this instrument would aid in navigation: To lay out a course or bearing; To read off a course or bearing; To determine angle or direction between two points on a map; To find magnetic course or bearing from True; To fix positions by angle; To plot lines of position, and many other aeronautical functions. Condition: Appears to be in fine condition with most of its lacquer intact, some patchy darkening of the patina of the brass and few scratches. The box is in good condition, missing some of the wooden holding pieces for the instrument and the green felt lining disrupted in many areas, especially at the edges. c. C. 1940
